Startup and commissioning of mechanical part of flow meter: 
 
Open valves slowly, fill pipework gradually. Vent the installation well. 
 

 

NOTICE 
 

Damage or malfunction of flow meter

 

 
Pressure surges, inclusion of air 
 

 

avoid pressure surges, open valves slowly 

 

air causes measuring errors, ensure that no air is in the system during operation 

 
Check the tightness of the connections watch for leakages.  
 
Function check with electronic display: read the instantaneous flow value. 
 
Should the established flow rate be greater than the specification of the flow meter (Qcont),  
either a flow control valve (throttle) must be inserted behind the flow sensor or a larger size flow 
meter must be used.
